Join neighbors and friends for an evening of celebration and community building on Tuesday, September 12, 2023!

Funds raised will support neighborhood engagement and Amp the Good grants powered by Amplify GR. These grants amplify neighbor-led passion projects that build community in Boston Square, Madison Square and surrounding neighborhoods.

This memorable evening outside in Madison Square will include:

• A "home-cooked" meal from 49507 chefs

• Libations and sweet treats from local entrepreneurs

• Live entertainment

• Tours of local business Superbloom Farms

• Amp the Good stories that honor and uplift neighborhood greatness

Enjoy time together while we amplify community experts - the neighbors - who poured back into the Southeast side of Grand Rapids through various Amp the Good grants.

It's a birthday party! Boston Square Fair will celebrate Boston Square Neighborhood Association's (BSNA) 3rd birthday. The Boston Square Together partners, Oakdale Neighbors, The City of Grand Rapids, BSNA, and Amplify GR will be hosting this family-friendly, festival-style event for the community.
